MLB The Show 25: Draft Program and Collection Breakdown

The late night content drop for the 2025 MLB Draft is here, and rounds out everything needed to complete the collection for 99 overall Ethan Holliday. Additionally, the time-limited Draft packs have been swapped out for the "all-encompassing" pack detailed by SDS.

MLB Draft Mega Choice Pack

This premium pack features three separate choice rounds, with each pack offering 3 total players on purchase.

• Pack Odds:
• • 1:2 for a 97+ OVR
  • 1:10 for a 98+ OVR

This pack includes all previously released cards from the time-limited 2025 Draft packs, as well as ten new cards for a total of 23 cards in the pack. These packs can be purchased unlimited times and cost 30,000 Stubs each.

2025 Draft Program

The 75-Star Draft Program offers a variety of rewards and provides the clearest path yet toward unlocking Ethan Holliday through the Draft Collection.

Rewards:

• 8 total 2025 MLB Draft cards
• 1 MLB Draft Mega Choice Pack

• Bat and Uniform Items
• 20,000 XP

Program Structure:

Moments (6 total, 24 stars)

You know the drill here.

Stat Missions – Draft Series (30 stars)

Accumulate stats using players from the 2025 Draft Series. This includes pack cards.

General Stat Missions (30 stars)

Complete basic gameplay stats like Hits, Ks, or Extra-Base Hits across any mode. Perfect if you're grinding other content right now as well.

Draft Conquest Map

A 5-Stronghold conquest map now anchors this content drop and comes with repeatable rewards:

First Completion Rewards:

• 3 Draft Series Cards:
• • Cam Cannarella
  • Quentin Young
  • Dean Curley
• 2025 All-Star Deluxe Pack
• 2025 MLB Draft Choice Pack
• 20 Program Stars

Repeat Runs:

Earn additional Draft Choice Packs for each completion to help fill out the Draft Collection and secure Ethan Holliday. This will help you complete the collection with minimal Stubs spent, and should hopefully keep the pack cards somewhat affordable as this can be grinded relentlessly and keep the market full of the required cards.

Overall, you can tackle and complete the program however you see fit. Run through a handful of Moments to earn some cards and make progress, then grind away however you desire.

MLB Draft Series Collection

This is one of the more straightforward collections to date. There's a total of 37 Draft cards currently available, including Holliday, which means there's 36 total that can be collected towards Holliday. You need 34 total cards to unlock the latest Holliday wunderkind.

Cannarella, Young, and Curley are exclusive to the Conquest map and cannot be purchased or sold on the marketplace. (3)

There are 23 total cards available in the Draft pack that can also be purchased. (23)

The program features 8 Draft cards. (8)

Sub-collection rewards Ike Irish (collect 8) and Kyson Witherspoon (collect 15). (2)

That's a total of 11 cards just from completing the offline content, plus whatever cards you pull from the packs you can earn. You'll still need to buy cards off the marketplace, but Holliday is pretty juiced and plenty will be chomping at the bit for him. It's also possible we'll see more Draft cards added in the future, but not a guarantee.

99 2025 Draft SS Ethan Holliday (Colorado Rockies) - #1 SS True Overall

That'll play. Elite attributes across all major offensive categories, Holliday is also eligible at 3B. Gold Fielding with 77 Reaction and 70 Speed is plenty good enough at SS, and will also work at 3B if you so choose. If you want a knock on this card (and most Draft cards) it's the lack of Quirks.

Notable, but 100+ Contact/Clutch and 110+ Power both sides on a SS probably shouldn't catch too much side-eye.
